Removing Imessages from dock

My imessages are disabled on my macbook air and removed from the dock. However, when I go to text someone on my iphone, a icon appears on the dock when I am texting and a list of people i've texted is stored in the message app on the macbook. How do I stop this from happening. Thanks

Possibly due to Continuity. See the SMS section of Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support

Removing iMessage from dock

I can't get the imessage icon off my dock on my mackbook pro. I've tried several things and I still can't get it off the dock. I don't want to delete it but I just want it to stay in the appications list. I don't like it on the dock for privacy reasons.

I accidentally removed iphoto from dock, please help?

I accidentally removed iphoto from dock, please help?
iPhoto isn't in my applications to I can't drag it to dock. All images and movies are still on Mac (heart did stop as I thought I'd lost everything and nearly cried) but I don't know how to get iPhoto back. I'm worried about trying different things as don't want to lose anything on Mac. Noticed that I haven't been using Time Machine and bought a couple of years ago so not sure what operating with. I have our 2 CDs from when we bought the Mac - 13-inch Macbook Pro (Mac OS X Install DVD) and 13 inch MacBook Pro (Applications Install DVD). My photos are not backed up so not sure if I need to do this first - can I back up to iCLoud or do I need newer software?
Any help would be greatly appreciated - need lots of step by step instructions though!

All images and movies are still on Mac
Of course they are. Deleting an app doesn't delete the files that's in it.

Why can't I remove iMessage from iCloud backups?

Why can't I remove iMessage from iCloud backups?
I've noticed that my iCloud backups are constantly hitting their 5GB max, even after clearing out camera rolls, etc.
After some testing, I've found that iMessages are also backed up. For someone like me, I'm constantly sending pictures / videos to friends and family, having a little guy under a year old (but that's not important).
In any case, it seems you can set iCloud backup for just about every app EXCEPT iMessages. The only way I've found to solve this is to constantly delete message threads from my iPhone, so that they aren't taking up iCloud space. But this honestly is a bit of a pain (okay, only a little bit)... why can't I keep my messages around for as long as I want, without backing them up?

Make sure you have their icloud email they use for imessage in their contact information before sending them an imessage.

How do I get Time Machine back on my dock? I made a mistake and removed it from dock, somehow ended up in trash, what do I do?

Uh…you're saying two entirely different things here. If you removed Time Machine from the Dock, it could not be in the Trash. But if you removed it from your Applications or Utilities folder and put it in the Trash, that's a problem.
So, which one did you really do?

You can't. Default Apple Apps cannot be removed. If you sign out of your Apple Id in Settings->Messages->Send & Receive->Apple ID then the iPad will have no knowledge of your Phone number.

Can't remove icon from dock?

So I recently updated my macbook to newer software and i had to also download a newer version of pages, keynote and numbers. These became new icons in my launchpad so I dragged them down to my dock. I restarted my computer so that the other 3 old icons would disappear but they remained. I deleted them then emptied trash and have become question marks now. I still can't seem to remove them from my dock? Any help? Thank you.

When I right click on the the question mark and hover over the "Options" it does not come up with anything.

Unable to add or remove items from dock

First, sorry if this is a duplicate post - I did a number of searches and came up with lots of "frozen dock" and other bugs that weren't this one. There seemed to be pages and pages and after several I just gave up and posted myself.
For the past few weeks I have noticed that I have been unable to remove any items from the dock. It is not that I get an error message when I try to remove them, they just don't budge.
If an item is in the doc and the program is active, and I ctrl-click on the item - there is no longer a "Remove from dock" option.
Further if a program is in the doc only because it is running and is not "always there", the ctrl-click will no longer give the "Keep in dock" option either.
The lack of error message almost makes me think I have set some "feature" without realizing it - rather than encountering a bug.
However, I would very much like it to go away anyway
Anyone have any ideas?
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Will

It sounds like you might have the 'contents-immutable' setting enabled on your "Dock". The only GUI available to an OS X client machine to adjust this setting is under "Parental Controls" in the "Accounts" pref pane - if your account is listed there as "managed", then it's possible that it may have become activated, in which case it should be possible to log out of the account, then in to an "admin" account and change the setting from there.
Unlike "parental controls" which manage the "Dock" through 'mcx_settings', it is also possible to set the property directly in the "com.apple.dock.plist" file in the user's "~/Library/Preferences" folder. Usually this wouldn't be expected to happen by accident - third party software is often involved when hidden settings are suddenly found to have been enabled.
If 'contents-immutable' has been set in the ".plist" file, one way to get rid of it is to move the "com.apple.dock.plist" file out of the "~/Library/preferences" folder, logging out and back in. The "Dock" will revert to default settings so it will be necessary to reconfigure it again. Alternatively, try opening "/Applications" > "Utilities" > "Terminal.app" and entering these commands:<pre>defaults delete com.apple.dock contents-immutable
osascript -e 'tell application "Dock" to quit'</pre>

Remove "Finder" from dock in Mountain Lion?

I would like to remove the Finder icon from my dock.
I know people are going to ask "Why?" Simply because, I don't like it being there.
I know Finder is always open and I know to close it would cause problems. I don't want to close it, I am just wondering if there is a way to remove, or hide it, from the dock so I don't have to see it.
Thanks!

I found the solution a few years ago, and posted it on the forums I could find, but nobody seemed to propogate it. The LSUI Element solution is FLAWED because the menu of the application dissapears when the application is running.
Anyway, the solution is to edit DockMenus.plist and add a "Remove from Dock" option to the "finder-running" category. Then you can remove it by right clicking like normal. You can find the remove from dock option in DockMenus, and then copy and paste it into the finder-running category. And if you add it to the processes category, you can remove other running applications too!
/System/Library/CoreServices/Dock/Contents/Resources/DockMenus.plist
Now, once you remove the Finder, it can only reappear if the Dock process is relaunched. And this only happens when you log in. So the best way to have your Finder icon always gone, is to make a small applescript which clicks the "Remove from Dock" option FOR you, and then put that applescript in your login items.
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Dock"
          tell UI element "Finder" of list 1
                    perform action "AXShowMenu"
                    click menu item "Remove from Dock" of menu 1
          end tell
end tell
This worked for Snow Leopard and it works for Mountain Lion too. I'm assuming it worked for Lion also.

Few problems with the dock. Creating App stack, and removing apps from dock

OK.. I am running leopard 10.5.4, and decided I wanted to use the app folder as a stack. I made my new folder with the alias' inside. However, when I went to move it into the dock, 9on the right side of the sizing bar), the other stacks failed to shift out of the way, so I couldn't add it in.
Another problem is that I can't see to remove apps from the dock. I have admin rights, and they are not active, hence the desire to get rid.
Anyone have an idea??

Erm... Doh! had dock 'locked' in Onyx...

Can't remove icons from dock

I purchased a brand new macbook pro today, and I have been trying to remove certain icons from the dock for the last half hour. I am completely unable to click and drag the icons, not even to reposition them on the dock. Also, when I hold the control button and click on an icon on the dock, the "remove from dock" option is completely absent. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Thanks!

Open the Terminal in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and run:
defaults write com.apple.dock contents-immutable -bool false;killall Dock

HT3529 How to remove iMessage from my iPad?

I hate iMessage and want to remove it from my iPad. Does anyone know how to do this?

You can turn it off but you cannot use messaging as a window prompts you to enter your Apple Id and turn it back on. Once it was installed on my iPad, I can no longer send text messages to anyone that has not registered for the iMessage service.
